Nottingham Buses June 2018

Well then. Nottingham's buses will be mostly out of it with our holiday in Chania but who knows what to expect there. In this one here, however, are some shots from June 2018. I might even say that on 31.06.2018, a spare or two on Bridgford Bus seems most likely after the spares on the 5 and the 7 on 30.06.2018. Too bad I can't see any spares on Bridgford Bus, that is if there are any! Coming soon though, it's all about Chania's buses but they'll probably be nowhere near as good as the buses as seen here in this one!

Nottingham City Transport 354 'Helen Richardson-Walsh' (28.06.2018)

And the final bus shot from 28.06.2018 goes to Bridgford Bus branded Optare Solo SR 354 for its appearance on green 11 and here, the bus is seen heading on Carrington Street with a service for City Loop.
Nottingham Buses, a Coach and a Minibus (28.06.2018)

Here are some more shots from 28.06.2018 and among the highlights here in this shot are a Trent Barton Optare Solo SR on the Skylink Express service, a Centrebus ADL Enviro 200 on the 19 and a Centrebus Wright-Commander on the 19, so there you go.
Nottingham City Transport 377 (28.06.2018)

Thumb slightly on the lens here but in this shot, 377, a green spare ADL Enviro 200, heads on Carrington Street with a Bridgford Bus 5 service to City Loop.
Nottingham City Transport 238 (28.06.2018)

Not a perfect shot here with the working LED display not on show but 237, a Y reg plate Old Optare Solo, is seen here on Carrington Street with a green 11 service to Lady Bay.
Nottingham City Transport 377 (28.06.2018)

The rear advert that fellow green spare ADL Enviro 200 375 used to have is now on the rear of this green spare variant, so a change of bus for the advert, which is about Newark Motor Auctions here in this one. 377 is seen here with its new rear advert as it heads on Melton Road after leaving Mellors Road bus stop on there just after dropping me off, the bus itself on a Bridgford Bus 5 service to Gamston.
Nottingham City Transport 377 (28.06.2018)

As you can imagine, a nice upgrade to an ADL Enviro 200 type on the 5 over a Bridgford Bus branded Optare Solo SR, so here's 377 as it arrives at Nottingham Station to pick me up while on a 5 to Gamston.

So then, no green spares on the usual route 9 for Bridgford Bus whatsoever as today's other green spare saw use on the 5 and it was this ADL Enviro 200 type right here that was put to use on the route, as here illustrates. 377 is seen here on Carrington Street with a 5 to City Loop.
Nottingham City Transport 377 (28.06.2018)

Not the best of shots here but in this one, 377, a green spare ADL Enviro 200 type, is seen distant on Carrington Street with a Bridgford Bus 5 service to Gamston.
Nottingham City Transport 353 (28.06.2018)

Due to Bridgford Bus branded Optare Solo SR 354 ending up on green 11 and another one presumably out of action, two green spares were in use on Bridgford Bus instead and it was the Gamston routes of the 5 and the 7 that played host with the green spares themselves. Today's allocation to the 7 was 353, an Optare Solo SR type, seen here arriving at Nottingham Station bus stop on Carrington Street with a 7 to Gamston.

Also on green 11, out of the ordinary, a Bridgford Bus branded Optare Solo SR ended up on there, effectively meaning it was on the wrong side of the green! 354 is unusually seen here on Carrington Street with an 11 to Lady Bay.
Nottingham City Transport 342 (28.06.2018)

Another green spare on green 11 today was 342, an Optare Solo SR type, the bus seen here on Carrington Street with an 11 to Lady Bay.
Nottingham City Transport 237 (28.06.2018)

Green 11 again for Y reg plate Old Optare Solo 237 today and here, the bus is seen on Carrington Street with a service for Lady Bay.
Nottingham City Transport 902 (28.06.2018)

A chance find on the usually bio-gas operated green 10 today with this non-bio-gas powered Optare OmniDekka! 902 is seen here in these two shots on Carrington Street with a 10 to Ruddington.
Nottingham Station Trains and Trams (28.06.2018)

Some more shots albeit small shots this time from Nottingham Station here, this time from 28.06.2018 and in this one, services are seen by East Midlands Trains, Cross Country, Northern, Nottingham Express Transit and freight from DB Cargo UK and Colas Railfreight. Not as good a day I think compared to 27.06.2018 due to some freight trains being cancelled but at least a 70 came into the picture today, so there you go.
